'SWAMP STORY' QUESTION

Hi Dave,

Are you going to do a book tour for Swamp Story in May? I’d like to treat my book club to autographed copies of your new book. I live in Middleburg (not far from Jacksonville) but am willing to take a moderate drive to see you in person as far as West Palm Beach.

Thanks in advance,

Rich Klinzman

Rich, thanks for asking. I will be doing a book tour for Swamp Story, but the details are still being worked out. When everything's final I'll post the schedule here.

Dave

p.s. This is Florida. There is no such thing as "a moderate drive."
